Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Apr 7: President JKPCC and Congress nominee for Anantnag Lok Sabha seat Ghulam Ahmed Mir has said that Congress and NC came together to jointly contest the ongoing elections keeping in view the bigger significance of the present electoral exercise at this crucial juncture in the wake of  the prevailing atmosphere during the past over one year and appealed to the Kashmiri migrant community to keep in mind the importance of their role to  strengthen the  message of secularism and brotherhood and their faith in the composite culture of the State.
Addressing a largely attended meeting at Muthi Camp Jammu today organized by Congress and NC Migrant Cells, Mir said that the  BJP Government at the Centre and the present dispensation of PDP and BJP in the State failed to fulfill even a single promise with the  migrant community and rather compounded their problems who are struggling for the basic needs of ration, employment and package formulated and sanctioned during the UPA regime and the Congress-NC coalition in the State. He said that the successive Congress Governments at the Centre and the UPA leadership always took keen interest in taking care of the needs and to create necessary facilities for them  and  time to time  reviewed and worked out plans with their consultation for their  sustainance and  rehabilitation apart from taking initiative  for creating atmosphere and transit accommodations in the valley for their return. He said that Congress always remains committed to their dignified settlement as the composite culture and secular ethos and character of Kashmir region remains incomplete without them.
He promised them that the leadership of Congress and NC would remain committed to serve their cause and represent their voice effectively for their better future and work for a better future of the State.
Later he addressed a largely attended meeting at Jagti Camp, Nagrota. AICC Secretary KL Sharma from Amethi, AICC  representatives  Gani Shanker Pandey from Rai Brelly, CLP Leader Rigzin Jora, Vice Presidents PCC Raman Bhalla and Mula Ram, Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma and other leaders attended.
